SHOOTING-GALLERY TOY.

Application ruga June a, A1925. serial N6. 34,376.

ToA all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, ISRAEL KUssNnu, a citizen of the United States, residing at New York, in the county of New York and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Shooting- Gallery Toys, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to games and toys and more particularly to a novel and improved, fascinating shooting gallery game whereby a number of objects are mounted so as to be struck and knocked over by a projectile, such as a small marble or bullet discharged from a spring gun, for inst-ance.

One of the objects of my invention is to provide a light, portable shooting` gallery game, in which a number of objects are individually mounted on a bar, whereby they may be struck and knocked over by a projectile, such as a marble or bulle-t, for instance, including provision for removing the marble or bullet from the bottom of the frame constituting the gallery.

LIn order to more fully understand and appreciate my invention, reference is had to the accompanying` drawings, wherein,

Figure 1 is a front view, embodying my invention.

Figure 2 is a vertical, sectional view through the same.

Referring now t0 the drawings wherein like reference characters designate corresponding parts throughout all the views, 5 designates the floor or base and 6 the back or rear wall of a frame, which may be braced by a bent strip 7 so as to prevent the same frame from falling when said rear wall is struck by an object such as a marble or bullet. The front wall 8 is connected to the rear wall by suitablel spacers 9, located near the top, said front wall being blocked out or cut away to expose the objects to be struck by the marble or projectile in the Between the sides 10, 11, of the front wall, I have mounted a transversely extending rod or bar 12, on which a number of objects such as the representations of animals are hingedly mounted. These objects 18 are hingedly connected as at 14 to the horizontal bar 12 whereby when said objects are struck, they will be knocked down to a horizontal position, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2, against a small leaf spring 12,

n geld Spring returning the objectv to its normal upright position. In addition to providing'the objects 13, on the horizontal bar 12, I also provide a bell 13a and separate and independent swingingelements, consistand when said plate is raised, the objects (marbles or bullets) 20 may roll out through the front wall and be again used.

Any suitable type of spring gun, for instance, as indicated by numeral 21 may be utilized to receive the marbles or bullets to be lired by the spring controlled rod 22. If so desired, the representation of miniature soldiers, or other objects provided with a spring controlled rod for firingv the marble or bullet may be provided so that the vsaid marble or bullet may be projected to knock down the objects 13 or strike the swinging disc.

While I have illustrated and described my invention with some degree of particularity, I realize that in practice various alterations therein may be made. I therefore reserve the right and privilege of changing the form of the detalls of construction or otherwise altering the arrangement of the correlate-d parts without departing fromk the spirit of the invention or the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is 1. A toy of the class described comprising a base, a rear wall and an open, spaced,

kfront wall, a supporting shaft mounted between the sides of the front wall and across the opening thereof, a plurality of independent, hingedly connected objects carried by the shaft, a curved runway on the base between the front and rear wall and an opening in the bottom portion of the front wall whereby projectiles discharged at the said objects may be removed.

2. A toy of the class described comprising a base, a rear wall and an open, spaced, front wall, a stationary shaft mounted between the sides of the front wall and across the opening thereof, a plurality of hinged objects carried by the shaft, freely swingable members on the sides of the front Wall, a curved runway on the base between the front and rear walls, said front wall having un opening in the bottom and :L sliding plate for Closnf the said opening whereby projectiles discharged at the objects and falling between the said Walls may be re 10 moved through the said opening.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
